Hi doctor.
Thanks for responding. I think I understand your motivation for splitting the boards. (Imagine me trying to read your mind - a CBT no-no). It might be to create a board that will address more people whose treatment is, perhaps, more conventional and to be able perhaps to establish the character of each drug individually.
It still makes me want vomit - or at least burp - whenever I see the word "Neurotransmitters" as the label for a clinical board. Even more vomitus is that the neurotransmitter theory of depression is ARCHAIC. It neglects everything that neuroscience has learned more recently. I detest the limitations that the word "neurotransmitters" places upon intercourse. It is an affront to my sensibilities. For the sake of redundancy, I would prefer to see a split in categories be:
1. clinical
2. research / theoryLet us not let Psycho-Babble demonstrate to the rest of the world our apparent naivety. Let us remain at least current, if not progressive.
Pretty-please.
:-)
